Positively Bookish
Two ten year old girls were inspired by reading books to research, plan and record this podcast about books they have found that help support happiness and good mental health. Launched in May 2021 during National Mental Health Awareness Week. In each podcast they will introduce two books including one picture book and one book for slightly older children. They will read the picture book and an extract of the older book and talk about what each book can offer. (Stop the press: they have both now had birthdays and turned 11!)

In Episode 2 of the podcast, Ella and Orla talk about a picture book featuring a parent who is bipolar and a book for older children about being brave enough to be who you want to be. And stand by for another cheesy catchphrase!
